Hello,

 

I'm using SAS 9.4. I have a dataset of counts of mortality for about 1000 census tracts for a particular area. These counts are stratified on five age categories, three racial categories, sex and ethnicity (Hispanic vs not Hispanic). If there are any deaths in a given strata in a census tract within my time period of interest, the strata is listed. If 1-4 deaths occurred in that strata, the count is censored, and the count is marked as missing. If zero deaths occurred, the strata is not listed at all. I would like to insert rows for the absent "zero count" strata. The attached file is my full dataset. I have a simplified version of my dataset with just a few census tracts below:

I would like every census tract to have all 60 possible combinations of lifestage, race, ethnicity and sex listed and to have strata that aren't currently listed have deaths=0. How can I accomplish this?

 

Thanks!
